Progressive web app basket builder

Glue’s collaboration with Wolseley UK marked a significant leap in digital convenience for trade professionals. Our Product Sprints, known for their agility and rapid prototyping, were instrumental in developing a Progressive Web App (PWA) basket builder. This innovative solution catered to tradespeople often working in remote locations with limited connectivity. By leveraging the comprehensive database from PartsArena, the PWA allowed users to compile orders on-site, synchronising with Wolseley’s checkout system once they reconnected to stable Wi-Fi.

The challenge was multifaceted: ensuring seamless offline functionality and integrating a vast product library into a user-friendly interface. Our approach combined meticulous research, user experience design, and cutting-edge web technologies to create a PWA that functioned flawlessly across multiple devices and platforms. This solution streamlined the ordering process for Wolseley’s customers and set a new benchmark in using PWAs in the trade industry.

The impact of this initiative was immediate and profound. Wolseley UK saw enhanced customer satisfaction, as tradespeople could now effortlessly build orders without connectivity constraints. This advancement also cemented Wolseley’s reputation as an innovator in the trade industry, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency through technology. The PWA basket builder, underpinned by PartsArena’s extensive database, exemplified the power of digital transformation in simplifying complex, real-world challenges.
